  • Plot: Except for one routine, this Hollywood short film is very forgettable. The songs, attempts at comedy and performances are way below par. One can see why these acts and the performers didn't make it in Hollywood and are otherwise forgotten. They weren't even good vaudeville. But there is one exception, and it's so good that it earns this film all five of its stars. Thankfully, it also takes up about half of the film - at the end.That routine is Sylvia Manon, booked as Sylvia Manon & Co. This is a vaudeville performance of acrobatic dancing. The Manon show also went by the name of the Sylvia Manon Trio. She is a super gymnast, and her two muscular partners are Ray Borden and Victor Voley. In this long performance, set to music, the men swing, flip, lift and toss Manon every which way. And, in those actions, she twists, twirls and lands in perfect syncopation with the music and the moves and positions of her partners.This is a highly polished act that has much daring, risk and danger. The least slip and Miss Manon could have broken limbs, neck or back. One can imagine that she probably acquired a good share of lumps, bumps and bruises in the practices and rehearsals to perfect the routines.For those who remember early TV variety shows, such as the Ed Sullivan Show, this is the type of unusual but very talented acrobatic performance one would see there. I checked online and could find very little about Miss Manon. Apparently, her trio was still performing on stage in the late 1940s in the central states. Before her vaudeville show, she supposedly taught dancing in Fremont, Ohio. I checked online and couldn't find anything about her in the Fremont newspaper records.Her talent and type of acrobatics and dancing are very entertaining. One can see why her shows were so successful. It would be nice to have videos of this highly talented performer for library records of the great days of vaudeville and revue stage shows.
